Tone for any style
Welcome complete creative freedom into your bass playing. The GPS Streamer LX is equipped with a set of active MEC P/J pickups, providing a stunning tonal palette that will always sound brilliant regardless of the genre you're playing.
The differentiated pickups mean you've got more choice than ever before. The "P" precision bass pickup gives you classic, focussed sound in your music. This means you can play with accuracy and sharpness, particularly brilliant when you're playing at the guitar's top end.
Enjoy powerful depth, too. The "J" jazz bass pickup gives you bassy low-end riffs and wonderful booming quality. It's this fantastic combination that ensures the Streamer LX sounds superb wherever you're playing along its scale. And if this wasn't already enough, there's bass and treble EQ to give you even more control over your sound, allowing you to shape your perfect tone. This is a bass guitar that can do everything.
Stunning clarity
Sound quality is vital. A bass guitar is useless if it can't communicate what you play with crispness and precision. Warwick have used active system pickups in the Streamer to ensure audio fidelity is always at the maximum.
Unlike passive systems, active pickups use very few coils of wire, and incorporate individual preamps within their circuitry. It's the coils in pickups that can cause noise interference and hum. So, put simply, active electronics will communicate your sound much more clearly than their passive counterparts. Embrace a bass that'll deliver your music exactly as you intend it to sound.
Smooth playability
Play at pace. The Streamer's ovangkol neck is supremely slick, allowing you to smoothly glide up and down the bass' scale without difficulty. The sleek quality of the wood actively aids you in playing at faster speeds, enabling you to perform rapid, up-tempo basslines with ease. It'll feel remarkably natural in your hands. Combined with a comfortable wenge fingerboard designed to reduce soreness when playing for long periods of time, the Streamer LX is one of the most playable basses in the business.
Terrific tuning
Pin-point precision in sound. Warwick have set out to ensure that the Streamer LX Bass stays in perfect tune for longer. They've fitted it with their revolutionary Just-A-Nut III string nut, providing immense strength and remarkable resonance like no other nut out there.
Painstakingly developed in Warwick's laboratories, the nut is made from Tedur. This discovery is an extremely resilient material made from fibreglass-strengthened polymer. Not only is it strong and durable enough to lock your strings in tune for longer periods of time, but it is also fantastic at improving sonic vibrations in your instrument. This means each note will resonate for longer, giving you fuller, richer sound.
Protective gig bag included for easy transport
You can take your bass anywhere thanks to a Starline RockBag included by Warwick at no extra cost. This protective, padded gig bag will safeguard your instrument from bumps and scrapes. A bass this good deserves to be heard and used as much as possible. This easy-to-transport case will help you take it to as many gigs as possible.
Brilliant bass heritage
Warwick basses have a long, rich history of crafting the very best basses in the business. Since their foundation in 1982 in Germany, they've focussed only on making bass guitars that are the most playable, magnificent sounding available on the market.
Their commitment to bass guitars means they've refined their skills to ensure that each and every model they release is a shining example of what a great bass should be. As a result, they've attracted a long list of fans, many of whom are some of music's finest bassists. Prince used a Warwick when he wanted to create funky, distinctive basslines. Slipknot's Paul Gray drove their electrifying sound with a Warwick. The Who's John Entwistle, by many considered the greatest bassist of all time, often used one. Warwicks are versatile basses perfectly designed for their purpose. Experience industry-leading quality.
